Meta Powers the Future of AI with Pure Storage

Meta’s RSC, AI Research SuperCluster, is one of the world’s fastest AI supercomputers, designed to train next-gen AI models on petabytes of data. With Pure Storage FlashArray and FlashBlade, Meta can support the supercomputer’s GPU and storage needs while minimizing operational costs.

Meta needed storage that could handle petabytes of data while delivering the performance demanded by the supercomputer. The storage also needed to have a very low power profile so that Meta could invest more power into the GPUs which speed up AI models.

Pure Storage supports next-generation AI research trained on petabytes of data, unifies data delivery to scale across even the most data-intensive jobs, and helps Meta learn how to deliver more content that people want to see. Meta designed and built a first-of-its-kind AI research cluster in less than two years. Reliable flash performance requires less maintenance than disk storage, reducing overall operational costs. Low power consumption allows Meta to direct more power to GPUs, improving overall performance.
